The almost true exploits of an intrepid spinster and her stitching...and all of the things that make up her crazy, happy, quiet little life.

STILL CLEANING...

In keeping with the May Spring Cleaning theme, I decided to pull this WIP from the pile to see if I could make a small dent in its progress:

This is "Bird in a Nest" by Zecca, with a stitch guide by Ruth Schmuff. I think it was one of Ruth's Mystery Classes at Beadecked and Beadazzled from a few years ago.

I completed the nest and the bird but got hung up by the compensation of the background stitch. I figured I would give this new "Just let it fly and do whatever blows your skirt up" attitude a try and tackle this again. Should be interesting....

No stitching last night...spent time with my stitchy sisters at Guild instead. We're embarking on a Bargello Challenge and I think I might have a preliminary idea of what I want to do sketched out. More details soon...as soon as I figure them out!
